Leigh Mills of NBC15 (www.nbc15.madison.com) is reporting that there is a continuing dispute at the Oregon Fire District. Seems the town of Madison Fire Chief, David Bloom has been named chief of the Oregon fire district, which serves Oregon and three surrounding towns.
The new chief wants to dissolve the current 5 member fire commission and instead of Oregon having 2 votes on a 5 member board, take complete control. The chief also says that he wants to have a higher percentage of volunteers. This has produced dismay from current workers and observers who wonder what world the chief is living in. Volunteers have been harder and harder to recruit and the whole world seems to be going the other way. Simple power struggle or what. Stay tuned.
